Safety Shot Inc., a healthy beverage company, is making a strategic shift to become a cryptocurrency treasury firm. They have received $25 million in BONK, a meme coin associated with the Solana blockchain, and plan to acquire up to $115 million worth by year-end. This pivot follows a trend of publicly traded companies integrating crypto assets into their treasuries. Safety Shot's initiative is backed by its financial advisor, Dominari Securities, and aims to hold approximately 4-5% of BONK's total supply. This strategy reflects growing institutional interest in cryptocurrency. After the collapse of FTX, BONK emerged as a community-driven currency, helping to stabilize Solana. The presence of BONK in Safety Shot's portfolio is expected to diversify the company's asset ownership and potentially offer more traditional investment routes for crypto exposure. However, Safety Shot's stock value has seen a significant decline following the announcement.
